02/25/2003 Archived Entry: "Childhood Diplomacy"
Think back to your childhood when you were playing with your friends. There was always one kid who had to have his or her way. It wasn't always the same kid. Everyone had their turn being the little brat. I can remember being on both the giving and receiving end of that act.
Some kid always had to have their way. All the other kids would be unanimous in opposing that kid (usually because their ideas were really terrible or they wanted to play the wrong games or do something illegal or something). If that kid was a big enough whiner, if that kid had nice enough toys, if that kid was popular enough the other kids would eventually just become annoyed and give in to the child's demands.
I remember putting up a fuss a few times and people gave in (not that I was popular or anything). It was always a really hollow victory. Usually by that point I'd figured out that I was wrong and I wanted to play the wrong games or do the wrong thing for the wrong reason. Everyone else would be playing the game I had insisted on playing and I'd realize that it just wasn't any fun because they weren't into it and they were only doing it to shut me up.
That was a horrible feeling. The kids resented me for it. I resented other kids for it when they did the same. No one was happy when the democracy in childhood playing went out the window. No one is ever happy when the stubborn idiot gets his or her way.
I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying.

It was only one girl in my neighborhood. she threatened to burn my house down and pushed another girl down a hill in a box. She also shoved a girl into the street when the car was coning, and threw up from eating plants she insisted we all eat. My friends and i threw a revolt. It was fun. Then they moved away, and we celebrated.

There was a kid in my neighborhood who was always acting like that. We ended up getting into a big fight because I told him he had lint in his bellybutton (which he very much did, by the way!!). It was the end of our friendship. He tried to tell me that I had a red dot on my stomach to get back at me but it was a weak comeback considering that that's not as bad as a linty bellybutton and I just didn't have a red dot on my stomach.
The fool!
We are blood brothers though. We made a cat bite us to draw blood.

Wow. That was thought-provoking. I think god wanted to seek revenge on the mean girl down the street but he missed and the next house over got struck by lighning.
We didn't have any cats in my neighborhood.
